Taxi driver steals tourists' luggage
Taxi driver arrested in Pattaya for stealing tourists luggage
15 December 2017
A 52 year old taxi driver has been arrested by Pattaya police after attempting to do a runner with a Korean couples luggage.
The tourists had enjoyed a lovely holiday in thailand and were all set to head back to the airport for their journey home. They loaded their bags up into the taxi and began negotiating a fair price from North Pattaya to Suvarabhumi airport.
Not happy with what he was hearing, the taxi driver thought enough was enough, no more negotiating, and took matters into his own hands by driving off with the couples luggage.
Police were immediately called and with the help of local CCTV, the thief was caught within a day of the initial report.
Luckily for the couple, he still had a total of 9 items belonging to the Koreans including 2 million won, 29,910 baht, passports, a black women’s bag and an iPad.

Re: Taxi driver steals tourists' luggage
Not happy with what he was hearing. This was probably "turn your meter on"!
Most taxi drivers around tourist areas in LOS are cnuts ! I've asked to pull over and jumped out of a taxi more than once for changing the price up after agreeing one and refusing to put the meter on. Keep my luggage with me on the back seat just in case have to do again.
